When Financial Infidelity Rears Its Ugly Head

When Financial Infidelity Rears Its Ugly Head

Maurie Backman  Mon, January 27, 2025  Moneywise

I found out my wife, 52, has more than $90K stashed in a secret savings account. What do I do now?

Money can be a point of contention in any marriage. And sometimes, the tension it creates can have big consequences.   Roughly two-thirds of U.S. divorces happen to couples in their 20s, 30s and 40s, according to the American Psychological Association. But the rate of divorce among adults 50 and older doubled between 1990 and 2010. And as of 2019, 36% of U.S. divorces were among adults 50 and up.

Now there are various factors that can lead to divorce, but money tends to be a big contributor. And if you're in your 50s and just found out that your wife has been secretly hiding money in a savings account throughout your 20-year marriage, you may be experiencing a range of emotions, from anger to sadness.

You may also be wondering how to cope with the news — especially if you're talking about a large sum of money like $90,000.

But divorce isn't necessarily the answer. There may be ways you can salvage your marriage and move forward in a more open and honest fashion with one another.

When financial infidelity rears its ugly head

Financial infidelity can take on a lot of forms. For some couples, it can mean one person racking up scores of debt and keeping it a secret. In others, it can mean having a hidden savings account that isn't shared with a partner.

A recent study shows that more than 40% of U.S. adults who are married or live with a partner have kept a financial secret from their significant other.

This is consistent with a late 2021 survey by the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) which found that 43% of U.S. adults have engaged in financial deception.

The most common type of financial infidelity identified was hiding specific purchases, bank accounts, statements or cash (39%), followed by racking up debt in secret or lying about money that was earned (21%).

How to cope with financial infidelity

Financial infidelity can be a tough thing to get over. The NEFE says that among couples who experienced it, 32% wound up with less trust in the relationship. And for 16%, it ultimately caused them to separate their finances or get divorced.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Monday Evening 1-27-25

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

DEEPSEEK AI DEBUT SPARKS CRYPTO MARKET SELL-OFF AMID RISING TECH COMPETITION

The release of DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to rival OpenAI's ChatGPT, triggered a sell-off in U.S. tech stocks, bringing crypto down too. But analysts say cheaper AI may actually be good news for the space.

This advanced model is reportedly faster and cheaper than its American counterpart, offering features such as natural language processing and integration capabilities that position it as a direct competitor in the global AI arms race. 

Cheaper AI models benefit both crypto and broader AI consumers by lowering the cost barrier to access advanced AI tools.

Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin (BTC) fell by 4% to $100,000, while Ethereum (ETH) dropped by 6% to $3,100. Meanwhile, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies fell by 8%, dropping to $3.52 trillion, according to CoinGecko. Liquidations over the past 24 hours totaled nearly $1 billion, according to CoinGlass.

Knee-Jerk

The debut of DeepSeek, coupled with intensifying competition in the AI sector, is reshaping investor sentiment across both tech stocks and the cryptocurrency market. Investors are selling riskier assets as they take time to digest this new information and how it might affect their holdings.

Jean Rausis, co-founder of decentralized finance ecosystem SmarDex, noted that the drop in crypto prices is more of a knee-jerk reaction to tech news rather than a direct consequence of the DeepSeek release itself.

“Because crypto trades 24/7, it’s often the go-to when big tech news breaks and the US market is closed – even if it has nothing to do with Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies,” Rausis said.

Crypto’s strong correlation with the Nasdaq underscores its position within the same investment category as tech stocks, Rausis added, explaining that both markets often respond similarly to major news due to shared investor sentiment and overlapping liquidity sources.

“Investors in crypto share the same mindset as tech stockholders, and the liquidity sources are often the same, so they often move in tandem when big tech news breaks,” he said. “It doesn’t really have anything to do with fundamentals – just sentiment.”

Long-Term Positive

Despite the initial panic, Rausis believes competition in AI is ultimately positive for consumers and aligns with crypto’s ethos of decentralization. “For traders, this volatility could just be an opportunity to buy in at a lower price,” he said.

Anthony Pompliano, Founder & CEO of Professional Capital Management, echoed Rausis’ sentiment in a post on X this morning. He said that while DeepSeek’s launch sparked uncertainty and volatility in the market, broader access to AI should be long-term positive.

“More companies are able to leverage the technology to create economic activity and drive GDP growth,” Pompliano wrote. “Individuals should be able to save time and become more effective at their jobs. And more problems will be solved. So Deepseek’s innovation will drive more use of AI, rather than less. This is all positive on a macro basis.”  

Fake DeepSeek Token

Amid the market drop, a fraudulent token claiming ties to DeepSeek briefly surged to a $48 million market cap on Solana, only to plunge to $6 million, according to Bird Eye. Created weeks before DeepSeek’s release, the token exploited the hype surrounding the AI model.

 “DeepSeek has not issued any cryptocurrency,” the team stated, clarifying that it operates only one verified X account.

BRICS TO INTRODUCE BITCOIN RESERVE? US EXPERT SAYS ITS POSSIBLE

Both the BRICS alliance and the United States have been engaged in some brewing geopolitical conflict over the last month. With US President Donald Trump eyeing a steep 100% tariff threat, all eyes are on what the bloc could do. Moreover, with both sides looking to continue their growth in the digital asset class, one expert says BRICS could be set to introduce its own Bitcoin reserve.

The news follows the announcement that the US would be introducing its own cryptocurrency stockpile. Although it is not the strategic BTC reserve many had hoped, it still will see the country firmly embrace the asset class. In response, one expert notes that the global south could turn to the leading cryptocurrency by market cap.

BRICS Bitcoin Reserve a Possibility as Nations Begin Cryptocurrency Embrace

The United States has firmly embraced cryptocurrencies since Donald Trump was inaugurated last week. Indeed, he has already ordered the asset to become a “national priority.” Meanwhile, speaking at the World Economic Forum, he claimed the country would soon become the “world capital” of AI and crypto.

That has led many to theorize what the rest of the world could do. Specifically, a host of nations are seeking to also implement similar action. Chief among them is the BRICS alliance, which one expert says could turn to create its own Bitcoin reserve.

US Space Force officer Jason P. Lowery recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to discuss the prospects. Specifically, he discussed the economic alliance’s prospects for its own cryptocurrency initiatives. However, he noted one token remained key.

“Do you really think BRICS is interested in adding a meme coin to their reserves, or one controlled by an American CEO?” Lowery said of crypto options like XRP. “Do you believe they’d choose a USD stablecoin issued by an American company trying to position itself as a neo-Federal Reserve Bank?” he further questioned.

“Or are they far more likely to adopt the coin that has been relentlessly vilified and condemned by the US for over 15 years?” he added. “That coin guarantees covering access to block space, ensuring transactions cannot be censored or denied, provided they continue to possess the physical power and infrastructure ‘they’ve already invested in."

This echoes similar sentiments made by Russian President Vladimir Putin himself. The leader applauded Bitcoin. Moreover, he noted that it is an asset that cannot be controlled. As the bloc has struggled against sanctions and US dollar weaponization, this seems increasingly important.

Clare:  Iraq boosts financial stability with huge dollar and gold reserves in US, Europe

1/27/2025

A country that has huge reserves of hard currency is considered an economically stable country that can intervene at any time to address imbalances in the balance of payments structure. It also provides an important element in establishing the country's creditworthiness, enhances the country's credit rating in international transactions, and provides cover for its local currency.

The country that has reserves takes into account their diversification (securities, deposits, gold and bonds...) in addition to geographical distribution to reduce exposure to risks and provide returns that ensure the sustainability of these reserves.

Diversified financial assets 

In this regard, the Prime Minister's Advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, explained to Shafak News Agency, "Countries seek to diversify their reserves to include different currencies and various financial assets to achieve greater stability, and the US dollar is the main reserve in the reserves of these countries, because it is the most accepted and used global currency in international transactions and the most flexible."

He added, "Most countries prefer to hold assets that provide them with a fixed and stable income, such as US or European treasury bonds that can generate annual interest, while gold does not generate fixed returns like government bonds."

Saleh pointed out that "it is difficult to deal with gold in times of crisis, as it is difficult to convert gold into liquidity quickly compared to other financial assets such as foreign currencies and bonds."

The foreign exchange reserve is the country's reserve of foreign currencies, and is called the foreign exchange reserve. The purpose of the reserve is to protect itself and maneuver with it in times of economic recession or war.

The Central Bank of Iraq announced in 2024 that Iraq has a foreign currency reserve exceeding $100 billion.

Bond investment

For his part, the economic expert and professor of economics at the University of Iraq, Abdul Rahman Al-Mashhadani, stated that “the existing reserves of hard currencies are the reserves of countries, not governments,” indicating that “Iraq possesses a group of them amounting to approximately 106 billion dollars, of which 16 billion dollars is the value of gold in these reserves, and the rest is foreign currencies.” 

Al-Mashhadani explained, during his talk to the agency, that "gold as a reserve cannot be invested except by buying and selling. Iraq sells when the price of gold rises and buys when the price falls, and thus achieves profits in this field," adding, "Its storage in international banks is subject to fees."

He pointed out that "the currency reserve is divided into more than one section, some of which are invested in US Treasury bonds in the range of 31 to 34 billion dollars, and the rest are used for debts," noting that "Iraq does not have sovereign funds like Saudi Arabia and others for surplus currencies, which are invested in various fields."

Iraq has 152.6 tons of gold reserves, which makes it 29th in the world out of 100 countries listed in the reserves table, and third in the Arab world after Saudi Arabia and Lebanon.

Foreign investment

In contrast, the financial expert and former general manager of the Central Bank, Mahmoud Dagher, pointed out that “Iraq has more than 100 billion dollars distributed among the world’s banks and central banks, especially the US Federal Reserve, the European Bank, the Bank of England in Britain, the Basel Bank in Switzerland, the Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.”

Dagher told Shafaq News Agency, "These reserves contain foreign currencies, bonds, and gold, and are managed by the Central Bank and achieve good financial returns. This is what is called foreign investment."

Coin cover

In addition, Jamal Kojer, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, told the agency, "Iraq's large reserves of hard currency, including gold, provide cover for the local currency and give it stability."

Koger added, "Many bet on the fall and demise of the currency, and therefore these reserves make the central bank intervene in the event of any imbalance facing financial policy."  

Variable reserves

But the economic expert, Hilal Al-Taan, saw that “all countries of the world boast about the amount of hard currency they have as a reserve, and this currency consists of the currencies of countries such as the dollar, the euro, and the franc, as well as gold.”

Al-Taan concluded, during his interview with Shafaq News Agency, that "Iraq is among the countries that were able, after 2003, to increase their currency balance to more than 110 billion dollars, and also to increase their gold balance to more than 150 tons."

He concluded his speech by saying, "These reserves are constantly changing in terms of the returns that Iraq obtains, through investing these currencies as interest in banks and as bonds."  LINK

Clare: Baghdad and Erbil agreed.. Parliamentary consensus to pass the budget law amendment soon

1/27/2025  Baghdad

Today, Monday (January 27, 2025), the representative of the Al-Fatah Alliance, Mukhtar Al-Moussawi, confirmed that there is a parliamentary consensus to pass the amendment to the budget law during the upcoming legislative sessions.

Al-Moussawi told Baghdad Today that "there is a parliamentary agreement to pass the budget law during the upcoming sessions," noting that "there are political agreements as well as an agreement between Baghdad and Erbil on this amendment, and that the parliamentary finance committee's Meetings are continuing to agree on the final amendment formula.”

He explained that "the House of Representatives supports any agreement between Baghdad and Erbil, and we do not want the House to be a reason for obstructing negotiations and solutions."

On Thursday, January 23, 2025, the federal government denied what the Kurdistan Regional Government spokesman announced regarding submitting a proposal that differs from the Council of Ministers' amendment to the financial budget law to the House of Representatives.

Government spokesman Bassem Al-Awadi said in a statement received by Baghdad Today: “Based on the government's keenness on transparency and disclosure to citizens of the progress of its executive work, especially with regard to the budget issue, which is a fundamental pillar for implementation the obligations contained in the government program, we affirm the government's commitment to the amendments sent to the House of Representatives regarding the budget law, which takes into account the supreme national interest, and we stress that the government's representative in the House of Representatives “He stressed the necessity of not making any other amendments to the budget law that contradict the texts submitted by the Council of Ministers.”

He added, "At the same time, we deny what was stated in the statement of the spokesman for the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq, and we are surprised by what was stated in it regarding the claim that the representative of the federal government in the House of Representatives obstructed the amendment of the article related to the procedures for resuming oil exports from the region.”

Al-Awadi stressed "the importance of the Kurdistan Regional Government's commitment to the provisions of the Federal General Budget Law, including the delivery of financial revenues, whether oil or non-oil, to the federal government, in accordance with what is stipulated in the law and the decision of the Federal Court.”

He explained that "adherence to these procedures is a necessary step to resolve the problems related to this file and enhance cooperation between the two sides, and the federal government hopes that the House of Representatives will expedite the approval of the amendment in accordance with the text Approved by the Council of Ministers, for the benefit of Iraq, all of Iraq.”

The spokesman for the Kurdistan Regional Government said in a statement earlier today that “after a series of meetings and persistent efforts aimed at amending the federal general budget law by the Council of Representatives with the aim of resuming the export of the region’s oil, and after Completing the first and second readings, unfortunately, the draft law was not approved in the agreed-upon form at the last minute.”

He pointed out that, “What increased our surprise was that the representative of the federal government in the House of Representatives submitted a different proposal to the Council unilaterally, without prior consultation with the Kurdistan Regional Government, and without submitting it to the Federal Council of Ministers for a vote, which contradicts the previous decision of the Council of Ministers regarding the approval of the draft law amendment for the purpose of resuming the export of oil from the Kurdistan Region.”

The Kurdistan Regional Government spokesman stressed that "such attempts only serve to harm Iraq, and contribute to deepening crises instead of finding effective solutions to them. Accordingly, we declare our complete rejection of these measures and proposals, and we emphasize the necessity of presenting the agreed-upon draft law and its approval by the Federal Council of Ministers and voting on it.”LINK

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Monday Afternoon 1-27-25

Government Advisor Reveals Iraq's Gold Reserves And Hedging Against "Ill-Considered Races" To Buy It

Time: 2025/01/27 Read: 1,410 times   {Economic: Al Furat News} The economic advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, revealed Iraq’s gold reserves, which are estimated at about 152 tons.

Saleh told {Euphrates News} that: "The gold reserve is undoubtedly an important part of Iraq's foreign exchange reserves, as it contributes to enhancing financial stability and confidence in the national currency. According to the announced data, gold reserves have reached about 152 tons."

He added, "The approximate value of it in the country's foreign investment portfolio is about $14 billion, which constitutes about 13% of the total diversification of that portfolio, which is distributed in standard proportions among other foreign currencies."

Saleh promised that gold is "a safe haven for the balance of the aforementioned investment portfolio, especially when the exchange rates of some currencies or the fluctuation of interest on investing in those currencies are exposed to uncalculated risks in the short term as a result of decline or fluctuation."

He pointed out that "central banks often follow standard guidelines, including our country, in diversifying their investment portfolios in foreign currency, which adopts many criteria, including the density of commercial areas with which they deal in global trade and investment."

Saleh added, "Our country is monitoring this diversification with great precision and with accurate advisory coverage, and it is not necessary to enter into ill-considered races in the yellow metal markets," indicating that "gold often carries its management costs, whether insurance or storage fees in global gold vaults, according to highly accurate mechanisms."

He stressed that "its importance lies in the possibility of issuing bonds when needed, called gold bonds guaranteed by gold," noting that "there are currently buying sprees in the world due to the change in the US administration and the rise in its prices."

According to the statement of Al-Sudani's advisor, "the state of uncertainty surrounding the new US administration has led to a rise in gold prices globally, as gold is a safe haven for investors in times of instability," noting that "despite this, strengthening gold reserves depends on the decisions of the monetary authority and its strategies in maintaining economic stability, and taking the necessary measures at the appropriate time."  LINK

Financial Disclosure And Transparency Is A Strategic Approach For The Central Bank

Samir Al-Nusairi   In the past few days, officials in financial and monetary policy were surprised by the statements of some unspecialized analysts and unspecialized media outlets about the crisis of the lack of liquidity in the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank and the impact of this on delaying the securing of salaries of employees, retirees and social care. The truth is that there is absolutely no such crisis, and this is what the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank confirmed.

Central banks in the world's countries aim primarily to achieve economic stability by achieving monetary and financial stability according to their programs and strategies that aim to maintain stability in the exchange rate of their local currencies against other foreign currencies and build sufficient foreign reserves according to special international standards.

Banks are also evaluated based on other standards related to facing crises, challenges and economic and political shocks in their countries and controlling stable rates of inflation and interest rates and implementing compliance systems and rules and combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

The Central Bank of Iraq's journey during 2023 and 2024 has proven that it is moving steadily towards achieving the objectives of monetary policy and with a consistent and strategic approach that relies on transparency and disclosure of financial data and dealing with international financial organizations and institutions, based on the keenness to restore confidence in international banking transactions, which Iraq suffered from in previous years due to reputational risks and the negative media impact towards harming the Iraqi economy and leaking inaccurate and fabricated data, information and statements intentionally or by relying on data from a source other than its official source, which is the Central Bank exclusively.

This led the Central Bank's management, which assumed responsibility in 2023, to draw up its third strategy, and one of its most prominent main and sub-goals was to adopt transparency and disclosure locally and internationally about the progress of the results achieved by the financial and banking sector and adherence to the standard international standards applied by reputable international banks, which led to the creation of a new and balanced relationship with international banks and banking institutions based on trust in the financial data provided and announced by the Central Bank.

This is what he announced from statistics, data and accurate analyses of what was achieved during the past two years.

These are positive indicators achieved by the Central Bank for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2022 and 2023, as the total deposits in banks operating in Iraq grew by (4.2%) and amounted to (127.6) trillion dinars, compared to its value of (122.4) trillion dinars in the third quarter of 2023, and the cash credit granted by operating banks also recorded a growth of (11.6%) and amounted to (72.7) trillion dinars, compared to its value of (65.1) trillion dinars in the third quarter of 2023.

Indicators and data showed that the narrow money supply in Iraq recorded a growth of (4.1%) in the third quarter of 2024, as its value reached (158.6) trillion dinars, compared to its value of (152.4) trillion dinars in the third quarter of 2023. In contrast, the broad money supply in Iraq recorded a growth of (3.3%), as its value reached (179.1) trillion dinars, compared to its value of (173.9) trillion dinars in the third quarter of 2023.

The Central Bank's gold reserves also recorded a significant growth of (57%) in the third quarter of 2024, reaching (16) trillion dinars, compared to (10.7) trillion dinars in the third quarter of 2023, and the annual inflation rates in Iraq are among the lowest annual inflation rates in the countries of the region for the months of August and September of 2024, ranging between (3.1%) and (3.7%) respectively, which reflects price stability and the success of monetary policy in Iraq.

This confirms that the data issued by the Central Bank, published on its website and included in all media releases it issues, refute what is stated by non-specialists, such as representatives and analysts in various media outlets, especially regarding liquidity, reserves and salaries.

Through my analysis as a follower and specialist, I believe that the Central Bank’s disclosure of financial data with the required accuracy will greatly help restore confidence in our national economy and the Iraqi banking sector locally and internationally, because disclosure, transparency and credibility will contribute to restoring confidence in the Iraqi banking sector and raising the rate of financial inclusion. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=52313

Dollar falls in Baghdad and Erbil as stock exchange closes

Economy | 04:28 - 01/27/2025   Mawazine News – Economy   The US dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar fell on Monday in the markets of Baghdad and Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, with the closing of the stock exchange.

A Mawazine News correspondent said that the dollar exchange rate fell with the closing of the two main stock exchanges in Baghdad, Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya, to record 150,500 dinars for every 100 dollars, while the prices were 150,900 dinars for every 100 dollars this morning.

Oil Prices Fall By More Than 1%

Economy |  01/27/2025  Mawazine News – Baghdad  Oil prices fell more than 1 percent in early Asian trading on Monday after US President Donald Trump called on OPEC to lower prices following the announcement of sweeping measures to boost US oil and gas production in his first week in office.

Markets move Brent crude futures were down 87 cents, or 1.11%, at $77.63 a barrel by 0043 GMT after closing up 21 cents on Friday. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was down 89 cents, or 1.19%, at $73.77, according to Reuters data.

Trump on Friday reiterated his call for OPEC to lower oil prices to hurt the finances of oil-rich Russia and help end the war in Ukraine. "One way to stop the war quickly is for OPEC to stop making so much money and lower the oil prices...

The war will stop right away," Trump said. OPEC and its allies, including Russia, have yet to respond to Trump's call, with OPEC+ representatives indicating they already have a plan to start increasing oil output from April, Reuters reported.

Brent and U.S. crude posted their first declines in five weeks last week as concerns about supply cuts from sanctions on Russia eased. Analysts at Goldman Sachs said Sachs said they do not expect Russian production to be significantly affected because higher freight rates encourage more supplies to non-sanctioned vessels to transport Russian oil, while the steep discount on Russian ESPO crude lures price-wary customers to continue buying.

“Given that the ultimate goal of sanctions is to reduce Russian oil revenues, we assume that Western policymakers will prioritize maximizing discounts on Russian oil over reducing production volumes,” the analysts added in a note.

But JP Morgan analysts said some risk premium was justified given that nearly 20 percent of the world’s Aframax tankers are currently under sanctions.

“Applying sanctions on the Russian energy sector as leverage in future negotiations could lead to uncertain outcomes, suggesting that a zero risk premium is not appropriate,” they said in a note.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE SECURES LICENSES IN NEW YORK AND TEXAS, EXPANDING U.S. FOOTPRINT

In a latest development, Ripple has obtained Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs) in New York and Texas, further expanding its presence in the U.S.

These licenses enable Ripple to offer compliant cross-border payment services, enhancing its ability to provide financial institutions and crypto businesses with faster, more efficient payment solutions. This news comes as firms are prepared for a crypto-friendly regulatory regime under President Donald Trump.

Notably, MTLs allow Ripple Payments customers to access a licensed version of its cross-border payments solution in the U.S., where transactions are managed end-to-end by Ripple on behalf of the customers.

55 Global Approvals

In addition to the two new MTLs, Ripple’s license portfolio now totals around 55 global approvals, including the prestigious New York BitLicense and a Limited Purpose Trust Company Charter.

“We’re continuing to see more interest from financial institutions to crypto businesses that want to unlock the benefits of crypto and blockchain for faster, cost-efficient and 24/7 cross-border payments,” Joanie Xie, Ripple Managing Director of North America, noted.

“With years of experience working in both crypto and with financial institutions, Ripple is well-positioned to support companies who are ready to take advantage of the current landscape.”

Its other regulatory approvals include registration as a VASP in Ireland and the Cayman Islands, and an in-principle license in Dubai. Ripple Payments has also grown its client base in North America, adding new partners like Bancoli, CambioReal, and GeoSwift in 2024, helping clients navigate the evolving financial ecosystem.

A Significant Shift Ahead?

Ripple’s recent U.S. regulatory approvals align with the Trump administration’s favorable stance on cryptocurrencies. It also noted that the U.S. industry players are optimistic about the upcoming four years, expecting a more crypto-friendly environment under President Donald Trump.

In a related move, the SEC recently repealed SAB 121, which had placed stringent conditions on banks providing digital asset custody services. This policy change is viewed as a significant step toward the broader integration of blockchain technology into traditional financial systems.

OKX, CRYPTO.COM SECURE FULL MICA LICENSES TO REACH 400M POTENCIAL EU USERS

While some major exchanges, including Binance, have sought alternative regions due to regulatory challenges, OKX and Crypto.com have doubled down on their commitment to Europe.

▪️OKX and Crypto.com secured full MiCA licenses, enabling seamless crypto services across 30 EEA markets for 400+ million users.

▪️OKX offers 240+ crypto tokens, 260 trading pairs, free euro deposits, and diverse trading tools like bot trading.

▪️MiCA’s harmonized framework empowers long-term crypto growth, with Europe emerging as a hub for blockchain innovation.

OKX and Crypto.com reached a major milestone on January 27 by obtaining full licenses under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) granted regulatory approval to both platforms, enhancing their operations across the European Economic Area (EEA).

The MiCA license empowers OKX and Crypto.com to provide regulated crypto services across the EEA. This is facilitated by MiCA’s “passporting” feature, which allows licensed entities to operate seamlessly in EU nations under a unified regulatory framework. Consequently, users in the region gain improved access to secure and reliable cryptocurrency services.

Expanding Services for EEA Users

OKX aims to expand its newly licensed operations by providing diverse services such as spot trading, bot trading, and over-the-counter (OTC) crypto token transactions. The platform will adapt its website and mobile app to local languages, currency options, and regional customer support, ensuring accessibility for users in specific markets.

Similarly, Crypto.com plans to deliver a variety of cryptocurrency services tailored for European users. With its license, the company seeks to maintain a seamless and compliant experience across international borders, solidifying its presence in the EU market.

Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe, highlighted the critical role of the MiCA license as a key achievement in promoting responsible leadership within the cryptocurrency industry. He noted that the Malta Financial Services Authority is globally recognized for its robust regulatory framework.

“The MiCA regulation in the EU is particularly forward thinking as it’s harmonized across the region. Through passporting, MiCA allows us to reach more than 400 million potential customers in 30 EEA markets,” said Ghoos.

MiCA Sets the Stage for Crypto Growth

OKX now provides regulated access to over 240 crypto tokens and 260 trading pairs, including 61 euro-crypto options, under MiCA-compliant operations. Users can deposit and withdraw euros for free via bank transfers or purchase cryptocurrencies using cards and reliable payment methods.

The MiCA framework enables crypto users to explore long-term investments, trading opportunities, and tools like automated bot trading. Ghoos emphasized Europe’s vast potential as a hub for blockchain and digital assets, stating that the license establishes a solid foundation for industry growth in the region.

While some major exchanges, including Binance, have sought alternative regions due to regulatory challenges, OKX and Crypto.com have doubled down on their commitment to Europe.

By embracing MiCA’s framework, the two platforms are setting a precedent for others to follow. Apart from OKX and Crypto.com, Bitpanda also secured MiCA license in Germany.

Fed to Launch ‘Bazooka’ After Crash

Fed to Launch ‘Bazooka’ After Crash

David Lin:  1-26-2025

In a recent interview, Matthew Piepenburg, a partner of Von Greyerz AG, shared his insights on market sentiment, managing a potential U.S. debt crisis, and the future outlook for gold, the U.S. dollar, and monetary policy with David Lin.

This article highlights key points from their conversation, emphasizing prudent risk management, addressing debt concerns, and exploring the roles of gold and dollar in investors’ portfolios.

As an investor, managing risks in today’s volatile market environment is of paramount importance. To succeed, Piepenburg suggests focusing on capital preservation and exit strategies rather than purely chasing returns. He highlights the need to be aware of changing market conditions and adapting accordingly.

One possible scenario to prepare for is a potential debt crisis in the United States. With increasing debt levels and potential interest rate hikes, the risk of a debt crisis remains a real possibility, according to Piepenburg. As such, investors must evaluate their risk tolerance and ensure a well-diversified portfolio to navigate through these challenging times.

Gold’s historical role as a safe-haven asset and store of value positions it well as a hedge against potential debt crises or other economic downturns. Piepenburg advises investors to view gold as insurance, rather than a speculative asset.

Meanwhile, the outlook for the U.S. dollar remains uncertain. On one hand, the dollar may benefit from its status as the world’s primary reserve currency, especially in times of market stress.

On the other hand, the risks associated with potential debt crises and monetary policy could lead to currency devaluation and harm the dollar’s standing.

In conclusion, navigating market turmoil requires a disciplined approach to risk management, a keen awareness of potential debt crises, and a well-thought-out allocation to safe-haven assets like gold.

 By preparing for uncertain market conditions and understanding the dynamics of debt, monetary policy, and currency values, investors can make informed decisions and protect their wealth amidst a challenging investment landscape.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 27 Jan. 2025

Compiled Mon. 27 Jan. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note: There was expected to soon be a Global Blackout, Martial Law and GESARA massive transfer of wealth from the Global Elites back to The People.

A Global Currency Reset to gold/asset-backed currencies of 209 nations, Stock Market Crash, and Martial Law will be implemented.

Meanwhile gold/asset-backed GESARA funds, already taken back from the Vatican bankers, would be used by The People to rebuild.

Sun. 26 Jan. 2025: KABOOM! Trump Declares the End of Income Taxes! IT MUST BE the NESARA GESARA Era! VIDEO – amg-news.com – American Media Group

NESARA GESARA—The GLOBAL Reset that Will Destroy the Old World!

Debt Forgiveness – A Total Financial Reset!

POOF! Your crushing debts? GONE! All your credit card balances, mortgages, and loans—wiped clean. How? Because the entire banking system that enslaved you in endless debt has been built on illigal activities. That’s right—this isn’t just a favor or a bailout. NESARA is correcting decades of financial crimes committed by banks and governments alike. This is a financial jubilee, the likes of which the world has NEVER seen before.

But don’t get too comfortable. This only applies to debt tied to the corrupt banking system. If you owe money outside of it, you’re still on the hook. This is selective justice, targeting the core of the corrupt financial empire.

Tax Liberation – The IRS Gets SMASHED!

Are you sick of handing over your hard-earned cash to the IRS every year? Say goodbye to that nightmare! The IRS, which has been acting unconstitutionally from the start, is about to be DEAD AND BURIED. Income tax? GONE. That’s right! NESARA obliterates income taxes, and it’s about time. For years, the government has been siphoning money from your paycheck illegally, and NESARA is going to stop this robbery in its tracks.

In its place, NESARA brings in a simple 14% flat tax on non-essential goods. That means no taxes on food, medicine, or used goods. It’s fair. It’s simple. And most importantly, it keeps the government’s greedy hands out of your pocket.

Federal Reserve—GAME OVER!

The Federal Reserve, that shadowy institution that’s been pulling the strings behind the scenes for decades, is about to be SNUFFED OUT! NESARA doesn’t just regulate it—it eliminates the entire system. Once and for all, we’re kicking the Federal Reserve to the curb and taking back control of our money.

A new U.S. Treasury-backed “Rainbow Currency” will replace the worthless paper dollars we’ve been using. And guess what? This new currency will be backed by gold, silver, and platinum—REAL assets, not the phony money the Federal Reserve has been printing for years. This isn’t just reform—it’s a total financial revolution.

Financial Privacy Restored – YOUR Money, YOUR Business!

Say goodbye to the constant surveillance and hacking of your personal finances. Under NESARA, your financial privacy is restored. The new U.S. Treasury Reserve Banking System will protect your money from thieves, hackers, and the prying eyes of Big Brother. The days of the government knowing every move you make are over!

This isn’t just about security. It’s about reclaiming control of your financial life. No more tracking. No more surveillance. Your money is yours and no one else’s.

Restitution and Redemption – Getting Back What’s Rightfully Ours!

NESARA doesn’t just stop with reforming the present—it also focuses on correcting the wrongs of the past. The corrupt elites who’ve stolen from us for generations? They’re going to pay. We’re talking restitution for every unconstitutional act committed upon humanity. All the hidden taxes, interest payments, and debt slavery will be accounted for.

And then there’s the Redemption—your currencies and bonds, including the ZIM Bonds, will be exchanged for higher rates, with part of the funds allocated for personal use and the rest earmarked for humanitarian projects. This isn’t just about money—it’s about justice. It’s time to take back what’s been stolen from us and build a future free from oppression.

Frank26   The new lower notes IMO will only work with a new exchange rate and not the 1310.  [The dinars] are the highest form of intel and highest form of security that there is on this planet Earth right now.  It [lower notes] is the  most highly guarded object and secret at this moment...The CBI and Sudani cannot afford one small slip up, one tiny little leak,  even the color.  You don't want any information to be leaded out...even the shape of the new lower notes.  All this must be kept  tightly under wraps until the new exchange rate is finally released... 

Fnu Lnu  Some people apparently have no idea how the oil business works. The originating price for oil is roughly $34 per barrel. The rest of the price is involved in broker's fees, transportation, delivery, and holding. This is how the $34 base cost turns into $75 which is the current end cost of oil per barrel. Now there is a "Dinar for Oil" program...China has International sanctions and part of that was their exclusion from the Iraq Dinar auctions, therefore, they sought to acquire Dinar from other sources like private Dinar owners. They wanted to be able to buy Iraqi oil...so they started offering private owners an enticing price...They made contracts with private owners through intermediaries. That is the "Contract Rate", NOT $75 per dinar. The idea of $75 per Dinar is NOT reality based... The UST put a halt to the contracting of Dinar as of October 2011. Unless you have a pre-2011 contract, YOU WILL NOT GET A CONTRACT RATE from the mythical REDEMPTION CENTERS...

Andy Schectman: "What's Coming for Silver In JANUARY Will SHATTER ALL EXPECTATIONS!" | Silver 2025

Finance Daily:  1-26-2025

Andy Schectman warns of an impending financial reckoning driven by persistent inflation, higher taxes, and dwindling global confidence in the US dollar.

The systematic debasement of the dollar, coupled with the geopolitical tensions and the weaponization of currency, is pushing nations to seek refuge in gold and silver.

The "all at once" moment, where the world collectively dumps dollars and treasuries, could be imminent, leading to a dramatic shift in global financial dynamics.

Schectman urges investors to recognize the signs and prepare by accumulating precious metals. As central banks and nations like China and India continue to stockpile gold and silver, individuals should also consider these assets as a hedge against the volatile economic landscape.

 The real value of these metals lies not just in their price but in their ability to preserve wealth and offer stability amidst economic uncertainty.

By moving into sound money, investors can protect themselves from the inevitable fallout of the ongoing financial instability and the declining value of fiat currencies.
